Skittles Quarter Final v RFOD
Thu, Mar 20th 2014 at 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm
After our unusual success in the first round of the District Skittles league, we pitted our skills against the RC of Royal Forest of Dean.
A great evening and a narrow victory to the RC of RFOD to whom many congratulations and good fortune in the 'Semis'. This match was played in the Forest on a very long alley using big balls - but maybe that was just the perception as we started off against these 4 times winners of the District trophy. A poor showing by your Webmaster in the first leg put the Team on the back foot from the 'off' but a determined fight back brought the result down to the final skittler from RFOD. With three to draw and 4 to win, John knocked them down with his second ball and it was all over for the RWB Team. A shame, but then life - and skittles - is full of what 'might have beens' and there's always next year to try again. Peter R was top scorer for the evening with Harry maintaining his steady form and both Nigel and Neil topping 40 so an especial "well done" to those 4 - but very well done to the Team members past and present on our best skittles season so far.
Now we move on to the Summer Boules league where we change from worm burners to a high level bombing strategy. So much to think about!
